**Robert POV: **
Looking at the view, the drome has, it seems, Cleo, to have made these shifters accept Thanksgiving. It seems like the whole park is in attendance except for those who are on patrol duty. I want to see if I can catch a glimpse of Cleo without having the drome spotted.
This drome is military-grade, and it gives no sound. However, with shifters having super hearing and I don't want to blow my cover. Temptation gets the best of me. I put the drome on camouflage mode and searched for Cleo.
I spotted her. She was wearing a form-fitting hunter green dress. Even with her stomach, her body is still the ideal of perfection to me. She is smiling, and it looks like they are about to make a speech. I turn the sound on to hear what she is about to say.
"We would like to thank you all for attending our Thanksgiving dinner. It means so much to Valenzano, West, Jazz, and I. I know this celebration is something that has never happened here before. And we appreciate you all for making this dinner happen. Today is Thanksgiving, a human holiday. But today we celebrate it as a pack. Valenzano, West, Jazz, and I are thankful for all the work everyone in the pack do. From the Omegas to every pack member. Our pack would not be as strong as it is without the hard work all of you do. And if you all agree, we will have this celebration every year to show you all how much we are thankful for all you do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.", she said then everyone stood and clapped.
I must say Cleo's speech was amazing. She spoke like a true leader. She has grown into herself so much it's like I am seeing her for the first time. I literally fell in love with her all over again. Soon, my love, soon you will be in my arms where you belong. Lost in my thoughts, I heard my phone ring; I sent the drone back to base and answered the call.
"McKee, Sir what do I owe the pleasure of your call?", I asked.
"Robert, I am calling to see how things are going and to confirm some information I have received", he said in a regular tone, which kind of worried me.
"And what information is that?", I asked, kind of nervous.
"That you have a partnership with a she-wolf", fuck my life. I am going to put a bullet into the head of the one who snitched.
"Well, Sir, it is true I do have some type of partnership with a she-wolf. But it is just a means to an end", I said.
"And what end is that? Who is this she-wolf?", he asked, still in a calm tone.
"To get my wife back. Her name is Avaya Re. She is the former lover of the Alpha, who has my Cleo. She has helped me get the intel needed to expedite the mission", I explained, hoping he wouldn't rip me a new one.
"And by helping you, what is in it for her?", he asked.
"She is hoping the Alpha will be so heartbroken that he takes her back. She believes that if Cleo wasn't his mate, they would still be together", I realized what I said and realized I had fucked up.
"YOUR WIFE IS HIS FUCKING MATE! AND YOU ARE NOW JUST TELLING ME!", fuck he is pissed off.
"I have a solution for that Sir", I said, trying to calm him down.
"And what is that? You have no idea how strong the mate bond is. The love of my life turned her back on me and the association because of the mate bond she had with an Alpha. Do you think your wife is any different? And besides, he would never stop looking for her or her babies. I have a good mind to cancel the whole damn mission and bring your ass back here for a disciplinary hearing", he said, pissed as fuck.
“The plan is once she has the babies, we will medically stop her heart to break the bond. Since the bond can only be broken if one of the two is dead once he feels the pain of her death, he won't bother to look for her. We will restart her heart after three minutes", I replied, hoping he would calm down.
"Shit, I wish I would have thought about that. But Bas would have kicked my ass", he said with a little laugh.
"And what about the babies? Certainly, he will look for them?", he asked.
"He will assume they are dead as well, since he won't know that she went into labor. I have all the medical supplies I need to make this happen. Do I have your approval to proceed?", I asked, hoping he would say yes.
"Only on one condition", he said as I held my breath.
"And is that?”, I asked him.
"I will need to be there to make sure the mission runs smoothly. Technically, since I am your superior, I don't have to ask, but because this is a touchy situation, I will. And besides, I would like to meet your amazing wife.", he said, waiting for my answer.
"Sir, it would be a pleasure to have you here by my side", I said with a proud smile. He needs a successor since he has no sons. I hope this plan works and he names me as his successor.
"I know you have over about a month before you proceed with the mission. However, I want to look over the area and the plan. I will be there by week's end", he said, then hung up.
McKee is a great leader, and I am glad he understands my situation. I always wanted to know the full story between him and that woman Bas. Maybe after all this is over, he will open up and tell me the full story.
